  1. Check will be in the mail tomorrow (monday) for two 2nd Gen pins. Can't wait!!!!
  2. Thanks for the offer on the manual and some help.I'm sure i'll need a hand down the road. I already joined xjbikes.com. It seems like a pretty good website but not as good as this one!!!!!
  3. Put me down for two 2nd Gen pins also. Great looking pins.
  4. Had the maxim out on the street after work today. Sure is a big difference from my rsv. It's like riding a mini bike but with much more power!!!
  5. Thanks for the info on the two websites, i joined them both.
  6. Today i purchased a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 for a run around bike. Its in great shape and needs very litte work. I plan to just give it a good clean up and maybe a dark red paint job. Is there any members out there that also own one that can give me any pro's or con's on the bike? i'm also going to be looking for a owners manual and a repair manual. Any tips would be helpful.
  7. Saturday my wife and i rode up in michigans thumb to a bike rally called Born To Be WILD and spent the nite in Sebewaing michigan. We came home today in the affternoon so we could close up our pool. It was a beautiful weekend.:thumbsup2:
  8. I am looking around for new tires for my rsv and came across the avon corbra which is a radial tire . Has anybody used the avon cobra tires on there bike? My plan is to buy avon tires anyway but i was wondering if the radials were ok on a rsv. :confused:
  9. Sure looks like everybody had a great time, sorry to have mised it but i had to work on Saturday. A job came in late on friday so i got a call to come in to work. The quilt looks really good too. Great group foto!!!!
  10. Real nice looking trailer but that max. towing speed is alful low on the highway. I wonder if you could do at least 65mph safley?
  11. Maybe one more m+e before you take off???? It would be nice to see you two be for you take off for happyer places.:thumbsup: Mabe just over a scope or two of icecream.
  12. Took my rsv to a bike nite tonight and had it put on a dyno to see what it would do. Its all stock but h-d mufflers. I was the only non harley in the group. It peaked at 76hp and 75 ft pd of trrque at 6000 rpms. Found out the rev limiter is set at 6000 rpms so it would go no farther. I was pleased with was they said. Its amazing how maney people don't know what a Venture is.
  13. I used a 1 1/4 inch hole saw to take the baffles out of my harley mufflers.It has a different sound from the harleys but it's a good sound. not to loud but just enough.
  14. Just got two stickers on my bike. I put my black venture sticker on the windshield and my silver one on the bottom half of my trunk. I'm not a sticker guy but I think these look ok!
  15. Sure would like to come along but all ready have other plans like tickets to go see crosby, stills & nasn on sat. nite and a bike blessing sat. morning. When i heard a pinstriper was going to be there i really wanted to go. Maybe next year. :thumbsup2:
  16. got mine today and already put them on. I put the black one on the windshield and the silver one on the bottom half of the trunk below the lock. My bike is black cherry and black so the silver looks good on the black.
  17. Thanks for the help. Removing the battery worked.
  18. I have a Zumo 550, used it today, disconnected it and when I plugged it in to return home, it would not turn on. Have tried charging it and nothing happens. Battery was at a full charge when it was turned off. This happened once before right after I bought it, took it back to Best Buy, they got it working but wouldn't tell me what they did to get it working again. Has anybody else had this problem. It is only one year old 5/25.
  19. I also bought mine from cartune with no proplems. It took about 2 weeks to get. It cost me $87 us dollars.
  20. it's tough to watch that video because thats the way it is here in detroit. I was born and raised here and its tough to watch the house next to you being put up for auction. Wear i work half the people are laided off but my boss just bought a 54ft sea ray. its just not right!!
  21. The weatherman say were going to get hit tonite and tomorrow with 4 to 6 in.of snow. The only good part of that it is bring the lake levels up. So far the lake levels are up queit a bit from last year.
  22. I used my carbtune saturday for the first time. It was real easy to use. My carbs where all perfect!
  23. The wife and i are riding the east coast of michigan up to the UP. We are going up the last week in july and just plan to ride around and see the sites.
  24. Cades Cove is a place to see , just don't go there during busy times. The roads in the park arn't in the best of shape so its hard to ride at a slow speed two up. The last time my wife and I were there we got to see four black bears. one ran across the road in front of the car that was in front of us. Also go and see the Tuckaleechee caverns in Townsend Tenn. Realy cool!!!! My wife and I went there in 06 and 07 and we had a ball. The people down there were so nice. Have fun and take a lot of pictures.
